Please read before beginning the submission process
- For each abstract you submit (for both podium presentations and poster presentations), you MUST use the online submission system.
- The text of your abstract must be entered in the text field in the submission form. A Word document abstract sent by email will not be accepted. It is advisable to create the abstract first in Word on your computer, then ‘cut and paste’ the abstract into the field of the submission form.
- If you have not used the Cadmium Abstracts system previously, you’ll need to set up a new submitter account. To log in as a registered submitter (NOT a NEW submitter), enter your email address and the password you chose when you registered with the system.
- If you are submitting more than one abstract, you may use the same email address and password for each abstract.
- When you click the “log in” button, you will be taken to a screen from which the submission process starts. Please read the instructions on this screen carefully.
- Each abstract must NOT exceed 450 words (including references). If you try to submit more than 450 words, the system will notify you that you have exceeded the limit and will only accept the first 450 words. The title does not count against the 450-word limit.
- Please use the format of Introduction/Objective, Methods, Results, Conclusion. References, if used, should be limited to no more than four references. The submission form provides separate fields for you to enter these sections of your abstract, and the text entered in all those fields, combined, will be limited to 450 words.
- Once you have completed your abstract entry, click the “Submit” button. If you have answered all the mandatory questions, including the financial disclosure, your abstract will be assigned a reference number and you will receive an email confirming that your abstract was successfully submitted. If you have not answered all the mandatory questions, your abstract will be held in temporary storage until you complete all questions.
